Italian Herb Crusted Pork

After Winter Storm Linus hit us yesterday and I spent most of the day shoveling snow, it was nice to have a Freezer Meal ready to go. 

Italian Herb Crusted Pork Chops

8 pork chops, thin sliced (about 2 lbs)

1 ½ cup bread crumbs

2 Tbsp. Hearty Spaghetti Seasoning

½ cup oil (great with Basil Pesto or Roasted Garlic Oil too!)

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

Combine all ingredients in freezer bag.  Seal and shake bag to combine ingredients and coat chops as much as possible.  Freeze. 

Thaw completely.  Remove chops (trying to keep as much as the crumb mixture on the chops as possible) and place on a broiling pan.  There will be some crumb mixture left in bag.  Take this and gently press onto the pork chops.  Broil on high temperature for 2 minutes on one side.  Lower oven temp to 350, turn chops over and bake for 15-20 minutes or until meat is cooked thoroughly (cooking time will vary slightly depending upon the thickness of your chops).  This is a definite “kid-friendly” meal!!  You can even slice these in strips (like chicken fingers) and eat with your fingers.

I also made a side of Zucchini Fritters which were delicious!
